How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!

Suddenly, the phone vibrated.

Saintess Qian Ling felt a bit annoyed. She didn't like dealing with the people in her current family, yet there were always some inconsiderate people who would call her frequently.

However, the moment she fished out the phone, her heart suddenly raced.

Caller ID: Lin Xiaosu!

Saintess Qian Ling took a deep breath and answered.

"Is today's call to tell me that our agreement from that day is about to be fulfilled?" Saintess Qian Ling's voice was calm and smooth.

"No, there's something I need you to give me an answer to." Lin Xiaosu's voice was deep.

"What is it?"

"There's a person who has used poison as a base, and the poison has evolved to the point that the body cannot bear it, the Life Fire is about to extinguish. From your perspective, is there any remedy you can think of?"

"Using poison as a base, the poison evolves, born from poison, yet also perishing because of poison?" Saintess Qian Ling pondered.

"Yes!"

"This is life's paradox, modern technology cannot solve such a life paradox."

"I know that modern technology cannot solve it, that's why I'm asking you, if we set aside modern technological theories and rely on ancient techniques, is there any possibility of resolution?"

Setting aside modern technology, relying on ancient techniques...

These words almost pointed out the roots of Saintess Qian Ling.

Almost told her, I know you are not a modern person!

Saintess Qian Ling pondered for a long time: "There is a method, but it's merely theoretical, lacking practical implementation."

"Tell me!" Lin Xiaosu's voice suddenly heightened.

"At the end of life, a single tear, even after a thousand deaths, can pull someone back!"

"At the end of life, a single tear..." Lin Xiaosu asked: "What does this refer to?"

"It refers to the highest level tear born from the cultivation technique in the Life Law series!"

"My Rejuvenation Secret Technique is part of the Life Law series!"

"Yes!"

"Can my Heavenly Star Tears save her?" Lin Xiaosu's heart raced.

"You need to listen carefully to what I say!" Saintess Qian Ling said: "I'm talking about the highest level of Heavenly Star Tears, not Flesh Star, but Bone Star!"

"What I have produced is indeed Bone Star!"

"What?" Saintess Qian Ling was utterly shocked.

Lin Xiaosu laughed heartily: "It's about time I confess to you, you gave me a theory that day, and I implemented according to your theory. You thought I produced Flesh Star, but actually, I have always produced Bone Star! Now, it seems, striving for perfection is indeed a good habit, thank you!"

His voice swept away the previous deep gloom, suddenly expressing unparalleled exuberance.

"Wait a minute!" Saintess Qian Ling shouted.

Lin Xiaosu had already removed the phone from his ear, but placed it back near his ear again...

Saintess Qian Ling's voice was urgent and fast: "Did you really produce Bone Star?"

"Absolutely!"

"You want to use this Bone Star to save someone?"

"That's why I said thank you! She is very important to me!"

"No! Absolutely not! Under no circumstances should you!"

"Why?"

Saintess Qian Ling took a deep breath: "Because the stars can only form nine, they can't be ten. If you waste one Heavenly Star Tear, the path of stars will be flawed, you will never enter the Observing Heaven realm in your lifetime!"

Lin Xiaosu was stunned.

Heavenly Star Tears, the Star Skin can be discarded, the Flesh Star can be integrated, however, the Bone Star, not a single one can be discarded.

Because if you discard Skin, you can upgrade to Flesh, if you discard Flesh, you can upgrade to Bone, and beyond Bone, there is no path.

If you discard even one of them, only eight remain.

Eight stars cannot illuminate the sky, eight stars present a deficiency.

He will never enter the Observing Heaven realm.

Saintess Qian Ling said: "In just over a year's cultivation, you have reached such a level, truly a Heavenly Pride! Able to discard Skin to integrate Flesh and directly attain Bone Star, even during the great ancient times of Wan Clan rivalry, you are pride among Heavenly Pride; your path of cultivation is more important than anything! Do not act impulsively and easily abandon your path of cultivation!"

Lin Xiaosu slowly lifted his gaze: "Understood, thank you!"

He pressed a finger and hung up!

Saintess Qian Ling bounced up and ran toward the hill. If there was a path in front of her, she might follow it, rush to his side, and stop him from doing something foolish, yet, in front of her, was the strong mountain wind from the Alpine Mountains.

Before her lay the vast land of Luoba State.

She and him were separated by thousands of miles.

What she could say, she said.

But she wasn't certain if he would listen.

Lin Xiaosu gently lifted his hand, brushing his face.

The beard on his chin was gently shaved away by him using True Qi as a blade.

His eyes, the bloodshot quickly dispelled.

His hand lifted, hair combed through.

His whole being once again stepped onto this island in a handsome and graceful manner.

Because he had already stepped out of the boundless gloom.

The door opened, Blue Demon strolled in, walked before him, looking at his face that had regained its spirited vigor.

Lin Xiaosu stretched out his hand and rested it on her shoulder, saying: "Senior Sister, congratulate me! I've found a wondrous method!"

His joy couldn't affect Blue Demon, who sighed softly: "Cutting off your own path of cultivation is also called a wondrous method?"

Lin Xiaosu was slightly startled, gaze lifted, staring at a few small holes above.

Blue Demon said: "It seems caring for someone can truly make a detective lose their instincts, you've actually overlooked the surveillance in this reading room."

The smile on Lin Xiaosu's face vanished, quietly looking at her.

Blue Demon said: "She wasn't wrong, in just a little over a year, reaching such a point, your path of cultivation is infinitely far-reaching. Proceeding along this path, you could truly become a god on the Cultivation Path!"

Lin Xiaosu said: "Becoming a god on the Cultivation Path, although desirable, I still wish to first be a 'human'!"

Blue Demon said: "Are you really sure you want to do this?"

Lin Xiaosu laughed and turned around.

Blue Demon extended her hand and embraced him from behind.

It was her first time initiating a hug in her life.

This embrace, unaffected by the wind or moon.

This embrace, she cannot discern her own heart.

"Senior sister, delete this segment of surveillance!"

"...Alright!"

"Don't worry, even if my cultivation path ends here, with my current strength, I can still complete this phase of the mission." Lin Xiaosu gently patted her hand on his chest.

"What about later?" Blue Demon's voice came, very softly.

"No one knows what will happen later, I cannot sacrifice her now for some intangible 'later'!"

Blue Demon slightly loosened her grip.

She let go.

With this release, she knew Chang Ye could be saved.

With this release, she also knew a peerless prodigy had fallen...

On one side is the lover in reality.

On the other, the grand dream.

In this world, many may face such a choice daily, but what transformation will his choice bring?

A person who could have become a "god" ultimately chose to become "human"!

Lin Xiaosu left the reading room.

Outside, the sun filled the sky.

Autumn sun, autumn island.

Autumn seawater, autumn birds.

The wind blows, the waves leap.

Dian Dian's crystal droplets resemble Li Ren Tears.

Lin Xiaosu strolled along the seaside road, a sword churned in his heart...

That sword, infinitely beautiful, infinitely charming.

That sword, he is actually so close.

Yet, from today onwards, that sword will be beyond reach.

Because the Observing Heaven realm he pursued will never arrive!

He severed his own Observing Heaven path.

And inadvertently severed "Li Ren Tears."

Why are Li Ren Tears so stunningly beautiful?

Perhaps because this sword soaked in the myriad twists of "departure," life changes constantly...

In the surveillance room, two technicians wore expressions of sorrow.

Beside them, Xinyue lost her charming smile.

She stared at the monitoring data on the large screen before her, data like countless needles pricking at her heart.

Every set of data recorded Chang Ye's physical condition.

The arm data showed only 7.8%, but it was 9.6% this morning.

The leg data showed only 3.5%, but it was 4.6% this morning.

Chang Ye can no longer stand.

Her arms can no longer move.

Because every minute, her bones are melting, her nerves are melting.

Xinyue watched the data fluctuate, watched it decline, as if witnessing her sister being sawed apart bit by bit, reducing her life index to zero...

This pain, she cannot bear.

She wants to vent, she wants to howl at the sky, but all is futile...

Suddenly, through tear-filled eyes, she saw a shadow.

This person's face bore a familiar smile.

Xinyue raised her hand sharply, wiped away her tears, and stared at the approaching Lin Xiaosu.

Her heartbeat instantly raced to one hundred and eighty.

Why is he smiling?

Lin Xiaosu came before her: "Xinyue, how about a bet?"

"A bet?" Xinyue struggled to utter a word.

"Bet that I can save her life in one stroke!" Lin Xiaosu said, "If I win, can you erase my name from your hatred notebook?"

"Erase your name? What's the point... if you win, I'll... I'll... burn my notebook!" Xinyue nearly jumped.

"Open the door!" Lin Xiaosu faced the technician.

The technician's eyes were full of doubt...

Opening the door now?

A blue shadow flashed, and a figure came to the control panel, flicked a finger, pressing a button, and the door opened.

It was Blue Demon.

She operated it personally.

Lin Xiaosu entered the lab.

Chang Ye lay quietly on the bed, wires inserted all over her body.

Her hands could not move, her entire body could not move.

But her eyes could still open.

Her eyes opened, watching in astonishment the person walking step by step towards her, Lin Xiaosu!

Her beloved...

He did not leave!

He came!

"Darling, I'm here!" Lin Xiaosu's five words gently drifted into her ears, Chang Ye grateful her hearing still existed, allowing her to hear this rare sweet talk.

Sadly, her mouth could no longer open, her tears could no longer flow.

"Next, your consciousness may wander in a haze, I need to tell you something, blink your eyes if you hear it."

Chang Ye gently blinked.

"I'm waiting for you to come back in the mortal world! You… must return to me!"
